[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM has taught me that I'm a total weirdo because I fully do not care what my siblings have received from my parents versus what I have received.  Or maybe I've just had a really fortunate/lucky life.  $1M is a life changing amount, but I've never even considered that I'd get such a windfall.  I'll be lucky if I'm not helping financially support my parents in their oldest ages[/quote]

Yep, you are weird.

How would you feel if your parent verbally told you they preferred your sibling?[/quote]

It is different.  I do not need my parents money.  They love each of us in different ways because we are different people.[/quote]
Talk is cheap. You’ll be singing a different tune if one of your siblings gets a million dollars from your parents and you don’t.[/quote]

Some posters are way too preachy about the "it's the parents' estate" bit.

I have to assume that they are either:
1) very, very well-off such that $1 Million is a pittance to them
2) the parents, in a scenario that decided to favor one child
3) the favored child
4) completely disingenuous

Sure, some parents will do this and maybe they have what they think are good reasons. Then please don't hide it from your kids while you are alive.  Finding this kind of thing out in a will is very hurtful because it's a final message that the parent sends to their children from the grave.  And it's natural to feel wounded if the last words from your beloved parents are wounding ones. [/quote]
